bigway 4 #2 February 24, 2008 Yes. But i have been told off before for saying it in the forums. It is the best i have ever used and i have used alot! It is called 'xilsoft dvd to ipod convertor.' It is excellent and has so many different uses. Seriously, I have not found anything better nor anything with an easier interface. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

If they are FairPlay DRMed files (i.e. 128 kbs ACC purchased from iTunes Music Store) the easiest way is to burn an audio disc with iTunes, and then reimport the files as .mp3. The same method works with iTunes Plus files (i.e. 192 kbs AAC), but a conversion app for your particular OS can save you some CD±R discs.Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour!
